 | | Egypt's relations with other Arab nations improved, and only Libya maintained its trade boycott; the restoration of diplomatic relations with Syria in 1989 paved the way for Egypt's resumption of its leadership of the Arab world. | | | In 2000, Egypt and Sudan formally resumed diplomatic ties, which were broken in 1995 when Egypt accused Sudan of an abortive assassination attempt against President Mubarak. | | | The Egyptian forces in Sinai were defeated, although the political gains for Egypt were considerable, as Israel was seen as the aggressor. |

| | MEMPHIS TOURS WORLDWIDE |
| | The Christian face of Egypt started to change by the beginning of the second millennium A.D., when Copts, in addition to the "Gezya" tax, suffered from specific disabilities, some of which were serious and interfered with their freedom of worship. | | | The modern use of the term (Coptic) describes Egyptian Christians, as well as the last stage of the ancient Egyptian language script. | | | Today [as of the writing of this document in 1992 A.D.], there are over 9 million Copts (out of a population of some 57 million Egyptians) who pray and share communion in daily masses in thousands of Coptic Churches in Egypt. |

| | "Perhaps this move coincided with a change of capital, since Herodotus speaks of Amasis providing a 'guard for himself against the Egyptians', which might well describe the position of a new foreign bodyguard protecting a Saite Pharaoh at the royal palace in Memphis against Egyptians of non-Delta origin," Krol says. | | | The city of Memphis was only eclipsed with the foundation of the garrison city of Fustat by the Arabs on the eastern bank of the Nile, and its later development, Al-Qahira." | | | Members of the Russian mission are confident that further excavation will reveal the outskirts of the central part of the Ramasside city where stood the Temple of Ptah, which was enlarged and embellished for thousands of years by successive Pharaohs and must once have been a worthy rival to the temple of Amun-Re at Karnak. |
